If you mix mashed potatoes with an egg, shredded cheese, a little flour, and seasonings, shape them into patties, give them a light spray of oil, and air fry and air fry at 375°F for about 10–12 minutes, you get air fryer potato cakes with slightly crispy charred edges and a soft, cheesy center. 🥔🧀
They’re a great way to give leftover mashed potatoes a second life instead of serving the same side dish again. I like them with sour cream, green onions, or a little extra cheese on top, and they work for breakfast, lunch, or as an easy side with dinner.
